2020 Bugatti Centodieci

Bugatti is paying homage to two milestones with the creation of the special-series Centodieci ( Italian for 110 ) — 1991 ’ s historic EB110 ( which was created to commemorate the 110th anniversary of founder Ettore Bugatti ’ s birth ) and the 110th anniversary of the start of operation for the company he founded , Automobiles Ettore Bugatti .
“ With the Centodieci , we pay homage to the EB110 super sports car which was built in the 1990s and is very much a part of our tradition-steeped history ,” says Stephan Winkelmann , President of Bugatti . “ With the EB110 , Bugatti catapulted itself to the top of the automotive world once again after 1956 with a new model .”
The Centodieci design is reminiscent of the EB110 , taking the then ground-breaking shape and technology and bringing it to an automotive world that has evolved so quickly in the nearly three decades since , making it sportier than Bugatti ’ s latest offerings , the Chiron and Divo , and more extreme and elegant than Bugatti ’ s La Voiture Noire .
